    How to stop new desktop PC from syncing with laptop?


    I set up a new desktop PC for the purpose of using certain programs without having to go online such as Photoshop. I was shocked to see it synced with my laptop without my giving it permission to do so. Then I noticed that it had copied everything via onedrive which I had already turned off on my laptop yrs ago. Do I have to reset it to factory settings and then do it all over again? How do I make sure it does NOT copy anything from my laptop? I want to keep them totally separate. I also noticed that I cannot access certain programs or accounts because it is a "different device."

    :)

    Buying a new laptop or desktop for gaming [help]

    I want to buy either a new laptop or a new desktop for gaming. I want to run games smoothly and maybe even use it for some ps2 emulation. Could someone suggest either a laptop or desktop? I heard Alienware is expensive and over-rated. I was also told Sager laptops are good for gaming. I have about $1000-$1500 to spend on a new machine. Initially I was going to get a laptop but it seems like I would be able to get a more powerful desktop for the same price or less. Please advise. Please suggest a model/brand [desktop/laptop] that I could purchase because I don't think I know enough about computers to build one from scratch.

    Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

    I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

    I think I have to take the following steps:

    • Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
    • Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
    • Startup PC
    • Reinstall display driver
    • Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
    • Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
    • Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
    • Calibrate my 1440p monitor
    Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
    Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

    Is there anything else I should do/know?
